[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I was raised on the idea that teachers work incredibly hard for not much money, and deserve every benefit that flows their way.  Now that my kids are in public school, however, I'm having trouble reconciling that with my actual experience with my kids' teachers.  School starts at 9:20 and the parking lot seems to clear out at around 4:30.  Kids are away from the teachers for lunch and recess, plus specials.   With 2.0, the curriculum planning needs seem to have lessened, as every teacher is doing the same thing across the grades.

This *looks* like a MUCH shorter day than most of the rest of us with full time jobs are pulling.  So, I want to be on the side of teachers.  I'm a big union supporter, and a card-carrying Democrat.  But, honestly, my engagement with the public education system is not convincing me.  [/quote]

It was so damn hard I quit after 8 years.  Loved the kids, but working with parents like you ruined it for me. You should volunteer in your child's school for a whole day and see if you could be a teacher. You'd go nuts. Have you even helped in a classroom (during a lesson not a class party)?
